After having dug to a depth of 10 yards last year, New York scientists
found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, California
scientists dug to a depth of 20 yards, and shortly after, headlines in the
LA Times newspaper read: 'California archaeologists have found traces of 200
year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an
advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the
New Yorkers.'
One week later, The'Newport Daily Independent', a local newspaper in Arkansas reported the following: 'After digging as deep as 30 yards in cotton fields near Jacksonport in Jackson County Bubba Johnson, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Arkansas had already gone wireless.
